The Lloyd’s List Podcast: Reasons to be cheerful

Times are tough across the industry right now, but there is a silver linings playbook for those prepared to look beyond the obvious and immediate crises in front of us and embrace a collaborative future with new eyes. That’s the view of our guest this week - DNVGL’s chief executive of maritime Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, who believes that we are headed into a maritime renaissance. Things that we have traditionally done for years simply will not hold up, he argues, the tectonic shift transforming the maritime world will spur international solutions, turbo-charging digitalization and forcing innovation that will fuel a revolution in shipping. While we have you thinking about innovation we are also calling for your feedback on the podcast and how we could improve, possibly with a regular ‘Ask the Analyst’ slot.
